I am attempting a tribal removal build with chevill, the gorgon and polukranos as well as many other removal spells. The list is Rock Me Mama (G/B Pioneer Removal Tribal) I am looking for more cards that feed on removal. Thank you for your time.

  • Your curve looks fine, but I think you want more lategame value. x decks in Modern run Liliana of the Veil, often as 4-ofs. You want something similar in lategame value generation. The planeswalkers you have now are a good start, but I think you really want a couple more, especially if they draw cards. 2 copies of Ob Nixilis Reignited might be good, as repeatable Murder and the ability to draw more cards is pretty good. Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage also does a decent impression of unplayable Lili of the Veil.

  • Removal Tribal? You have 10 pieces. I run 4-8 in my non-control decks.

  • Chevill seems weird. I think he's better in EDH. Great for politics. Not so great when he's a really situational Howling Mine that is hit by Fatal Push and Lightning Strike, which everyone is running. I admire trying to use him, but I don't think he's gonna see non-EDH play outside of standard.

It is 12 removal spells including the rider. I have actually had great success with chevill drawing an extra card and gaining life every turn against creature decks.

Ah, I forgot the Rider. I'm still skeptical of Chevill, but if he works for you, great. I would still increase the amount of removal, though. Maybe more Trophy/Riders?
